“If only we had such wings from the very beginning…”: the Armed Forces received a new domestic reconnaissance UAV “Gor”

The 63rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces continues to increase its strength thanks to modern equipment. Recently, its control and artillery reconnaissance battery (BUAR) received the latest reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle of Ukrainian production – “Hor”.

This was reported on the brigade’s page.

The name of the UAV is not accidental: Horus is the ancient Egyptian god of the sky and the sun with the head of a falcon, symbolizing perfect vision and power. It is these characteristics that make the drone ideal for detecting targets at any time of the day.

According to the fighters, the new reconnaissance apparatus is significantly superior to its predecessors. “Hor” is able to fly twice as long as other models – a stable three hours even in winter. It is also more resistant to work in the conditions of the use of means of radio-electronic warfare (EW) and has a powerful thermal imaging camera with a high level of zoom. Thanks to this, the operators of the complex can detect the accumulation of equipment and manpower of the enemy even far in the rear, where the “Maviks” cannot reach.

The UAV operator of the 63rd brigade with the call sign “Tyhiy” said that the complex includes three drones and a ground station. The military organizes the deployment of the complex in less than an hour: from disassembling the catapult to installing the antenna. Thanks to the high-quality characteristics of the “Mountain”, our defenders are able to receive accurate intelligence information about the movement of the enemy, quickly transmit data to artillerymen and deliver accurate strikes.

The effectiveness of the “Gor” complex has already been demonstrated in practice. “They worked quite effectively, for example, on the crew of the S-60, who were spotted at the time of the approach. That is, they have just arrived, we detected them, their calculation has not yet begun to break down into positions, and we have already worked on it. The crew was completely destroyed,” the military said.

The cost of one “Hor” complex is about 10 million hryvnias. It includes three aircraft and a ground station.

As reported by ArmiyaInform, operators of the unmanned systems battalion of the 63rd mechanized brigade, using FPV drones and the Baba Yaga bomber, burned two Urals, two Uaziks, two cannons, a “loaf” and a buggy. Well, they sent a dozen invaders to the other world.
